FOR 1963 Comments on the Flora of Bryan County, Oklahoma CONSTANCE and JOHN TAYLOR, Southeastern State College, Durant Bryan County, on the Red River approximately 80 miles west of Arkansas, represents an area from which only a few botanical specimens had been collected. During the last two years we have attempted to make a thorough collection of the vascular plants. A number of species were collected which constitute notable extensions of range. The list below contains Information about some of them. All but two were collected in the county. One species and one variety are reported as new to the flora of Oklahoma and are starred. All specimens cited were collected by John and Connie Taylor. unless otherwise indicated. and are deposited in the Bebb Herbarium, University of Oklahoma, Norman. We wish to express our appreciation and sincere thanks to Dr. G. J. Goodman, University of Oklahoma, for his encouragement and advice. PIau eeblData Mill.

  • Estimating Spawning Times of Alligator Gar (Atractosteus Spatula) in Lake Texoma, Oklahoma
    46 Estimating Spawning Times of Alligator Gar (Atractosteus spatula) in Lake Texoma, Oklahoma Richard A. Snow Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation, Oklahoma Fishery Research Laboratory, Norman, OK 73072 James M. Long U.S. Geological Survey Oklahoma Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit, Department of Natural Resource Ecology and Management, Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, OK 74078 Abstract: In 2013, juvenile Alligator Gar were sampled in the reservoir-river interface of the Red River arm of Lake Texoma. The Red River, which flows 860 km along Oklahoma’s border with Texas, is the primary in-flow source of Lake Texoma, and is impounded by Denison Dam. Mini- fyke nets were deployed using an adaptive random cluster sampling design, which has been used to effectively sample rare species. Lapilli otoliths (one of the three pair of ear stones found within the inner ear of fish) were removed from juvenile Alligator Gar collected in July of 2013. Daily ages were estimated by counting the number of rings present, and spawn dates were back-calculated from date of capture and subtracting 8 days (3 days from spawn to hatch and 5 days from hatch to swim- up when the first ring forms). Alligator Gar daily age estimation ranged from 50 to 63 days old since swim-up. Spawn dates corresponded to rising pool elevations of Lake Texoma and water pulses of tributaries. ©2015 Oklahoma Academy of Science Introduction In its native range, Alligator Gar spawns from early April through the middle of June The Alligator Gar (Atractosteus spatula) is in conjunction with seasonal flooding events the largest freshwater fish species in Oklahoma (Etnier and Starnes 1993, Ferrara 2001, Inebnit and the third largest in North America (Page and 2009).

  • Frequently Asked Questions About Southwestern's Vegetation
    One West Third Street Tulsa, OK 74103-3502 918-595-6600 www.swpa.gov Frequently Asked Questions – Lake Texoma Hydropower Generation April 3, 2014 Question. Why is Southwestern generating at Lake Texoma when the lake is so low? Answer. Southwestern is generating only a minimal amount to meet short-term peaking and critical power needs. The year 2013 marked the lowest generation year in the 70 year history of Lake Texoma and Denison Dam. The year 2011 was the second lowest. In fact, SWPA has been operating in drought mode since January 2011, generating only 25% of average. Since May 2012, generation has been even less, about 19% of average. Question. What gives Southwestern the right to generate at all? Answer. Southwestern is one of two project users which pay into the U.S. Treasury for water storage in Lake Texoma. The other is Municipal & Industrial (M&I) water supply. As an authorized user of the project with designated water storage, Southwestern has the right to use the water storage for which it has paid. That said, however, Southwestern and its customers have voluntarily reduced generation to save storage during the drought responsible for the low Lake Texoma elevations. Question. Who are Southwestern's customers at Denison? Answer. The entire output of the project is marketed to Rayburn Country Electric Cooperative and Tex-La Electric Cooperative, both of which are not-for-profit rural electric cooperatives serving electrical load mainly in the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) region. Question. What is ERCOT? Answer. ERCOT is one of nine Independent System Operators (ISO) in the United States.

  • Lake Texoma State Park Resource Management Plan Marshall County, Oklahoma
    Lake Texoma State Park Resource Management Plan Marshall County, Oklahoma Lowell Caneday, Ph.D. 6/30/2017 Fatemeh (Tannaz) Soltani, Ph.D. Chang-Heng (Hank) Yang This page intentionally left blank. i Acknowledgements The authors acknowledge the assistance of numerous individuals in the preparation of this Resource Management Plan (RMP). On behalf of the Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department’s Division of State Parks, staff members were extremely helpful in providing access to information and in sharing of their time. The essential staff providing assistance for the development of the RMP included Julie Roach, manager of Lake Texoma State Park. Assistance was also provided by Kris Marek, Doug Hawthorne, Don Schafer and Ron McWhirter – all from the Oklahoma City office of the Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department. Merle Cox, Regional Manager of the Southeastern Region of Oklahoma State Parks also attended these meetings and assisted throughout the project. This RMP supplements and updates an earlier document from 2009. Due to the events of the time, the 2009 RMP focused on other possible properties that could be considered for expansion and development within the Oklahoma State Park system. Given the events and circumstances present in 2017, this RMP focuses on the future of the properties remaining within the boundaries of the extant Lake Texoma State Park. The October 2016 kick-off meeting followed critical discussions between the Commissioners of the Land Office (CLO), OTRD, Pointe Vista, and other parties regarding properties formerly included in the original Lake Texoma State Park. Attending this kick-off meeting on behalf of Pointe Vista and Catfish Bay Marina was Ryan Chapman.
